Recalc Finance Accelerator Fall 2026 - Info Session
The Recalc Finance Accelerator is designed to help ambitious, intellectually curious college students and recent graduates begin their careers in private equity and alternative investing. We believe in leveraging AI to accelerate learning, and will embrace that philosophy throughout the program.
We seek intellectually curious, ambitious candidates who will make the most of the program. We encourage applicants from non-traditional backgrounds.
The Accelerator is an intensive program combining live technical training with mentorship, community, and recruiting support. Our participants regularly secure internships and full-time roles at top-tier alternative investment firms and investment banks.

When do applications for the next cohort open?
Applications for the Fall 2026 Finance Accelerator will open September 10 - 27, 2026. Apply by September 20 for priority review. Classes will be on Tuesday evenings: October 20 and 27; November 3, 10, and 17; December 1 and 8, 2026.
Who is the program for?
The program is designed primarily for college sophomores preparing for junior-summer internship recruiting. Students in other class years may apply, but Fall seats for freshmen will be very limited. We plan to offer a freshman-focused program in Spring 2027; join our mailing list for updates.
What is the application process?
In order to apply for the program, it is mandatory to attend the info session or watch the recording. You will also need to submit a resume and a personal website that helps us get to know you. We will share the application link following the info session.
What background do I need in order to apply?
You do not need to major in finance or have prior finance experience. We look for strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and evidence that you can succeed in analytical work.
How much does it cost?
The program is free for participants thanks to the support of our partner firms. Because seats are limited, admitted students must commit to attending required sessions and participating fully in the community.
